LAUNCHING AND RECOVERY SYSTEM (LARS) INSPECTION IN OMAN
We are one of the offshore third-party inspection companies offering certifications for the Launching and Recovery System (LARS) of diving systems, ROV subsea equipment, and other maritime equipment. Regular LARS inspections and certifications are necessary to maintain offshore integrity and safety as well as to guarantee a safe operating environment for personnel and machinery. Mechanical failure and its possible effects are avoided via third-party work equipment inspection of Launching and recovery system inspection. Nondestructive testing, load testing, and system verification are all part of the third-party inspection and certification process for LARS. Ultrasonic testing services or magnetic particle inspection are examples of applicable NDT testing techniques. Calibrated water bags and lifting equipment of adequate height are required for the Launching and Recovery System (LARS) proof load testing and certification. Ship classification rules, Codes and standards of LARS inspection shall be,
- DNV-ST-0378: Load testing and certification of lifting appliances and offshore platforms, specifying design load factors for installation, fabrication, inspection, and maintenance as well as proof load testing and NDT inspection.
- DNV-ST-N001: Guidelines and procedures for LARS lifting operations at platforms and offshore jackets in challenging marine conditions.
- DNVGL-ST-E273-2.7.3: This code outlines the inspection and testing requirements for offshore handling equipment and portable LARS units.
- The design, installation, commissioning, inspection, and load testing of Launching and recovery system for ROVs were the main areas of focus for the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA).
- ISO 19901-6 Marine operations: This pertains to inspecting offshore the structures using heavy lifting.
- EN 13852-1 Part 1: LARS Inspection and Testing during Crane Load Testing Inspection of Cranes—Offshore Cranes.
LARS LOAD TESTING IN OMAN
EIWAA Marine Services complies with the ABS, BV, Lloyd’s Register, DNV NK, and RINA marine classification rules when conducting the LARS load testing inspection and NDT certification. As a portable alternative to solid test weights, water weights can be used for certification and inspection. Different proof load testing requirements pertaining to the SWL capacity are included in the static, dynamic, and functional load testing types of LARS. Our maritime lifting engineers verify hydraulic systems, limit switches, control panels, and emergency stops in order to fulfill the LARS pre-inspection requirements.
